Join Battle Tested

Battle Tested Veterans (BTV) is a non-profit organization that uses the power of first-person narratives to challenge veteran stereotypes and bridge the gap between transitioning military members and civilian hiring influencers. Founded in 2015, our mission is to use the art of storytelling to connect communities, cultivate understanding and prove our battle-tested veterans are invaluable corporate assets.

Want to join us in connecting veterans and community one story at a time? Read on! BTV is building the active, working board that will lay the foundation to expand our organizations’ reach and impact across the US among transitioning veterans, talent acquisition professionals and hiring influencers.

As a board, we are a dynamic collection of humans. Although we all have military backgrounds, that is not a requirement to join the BTV squad. We do, however, want to understand your connection to and passion for supporting the veteran community.

Looking forward, we are ramping up our impact in the talent acquisition and corporate hiring space, so any experience or ties you have with this realm will definitely peak our interest. Long story short, if you are a born bulldozer looking to challenge veteran stereotypes and help transitioning military service members reach their full potential, let’s chat.

Digital Brand Manager

As part of our growing all-volunteer organization, we need a Digital Brand & Social Media Manager to generate professional, polished buzz about all things BTV out on the interwebs.

Who You Are

In your current marketing, communications or public relations role, you believe in putting reputation before recognition and that building a strong brand presence is a marathon – not a sprint. You love story-driven messaging and seek to make authentic connections with your audience. You are “in the know” on digital tactics and the latest social media trends but prioritize having a conversation with an online community versus chasing likes and follows. No stranger to working on a budget, you also know how to get the most bang for the buck, while still getting the word out and making an impact.

You have at 6 - 10 hours a month to commit to a volunteer board position including the monthly board meetings and are already excited to join us for our BTV annual flagship event in the Fall.

HR Outreach

As part of our growing all-volunteer organization, we need an Human Resources & Recruiting Outreach Lead to help BTV connect with and rally influencers in the corporate space who will support our mission to help transitioning military veterans reach their full professional potential. Essentially, this role will be our BTV ambassador into the corporate realm.

Who You Are

In your current corporate human resources and/or recruiting role, you are known as an industry mover and shaker intent on disrupting the status quo for the better of all involved. You are fulfilled by healthy, innovative company cultures that cultivate dynamic, diverse talent. You dig finding diamonds in the rough and want to teach everyone around you how to think outside the box when it comes to finding their team’s unicorn.

You have at least 6 hours a month to commit to a volunteer board position including the monthly board meetings. Needless to say, you are already excited to join us for our BTV annual flagship event in October.

EVENT LEAD

As part of our growing all-volunteer organization, we need an Event Lead to collaborate closely with the Board President and Digital Lead to help BTV pull off its best annual flagship event to date.

Who You Are

Not only can you meticulously plan and pull off a signature soiree, but you can make sure it is the ambassador for a mission and packs an inspirational punch for attendees. You are savvy at building the buzz before, and making the most of meaningful connections, to follow any of your events. Adept at threading character throughout, you know how to balance personality and professionalism to make a gathering intimate and impactful whether it’s for a guest list of 10 or 1,010. In addition to event planning and prep, you are also a bit of a media guru with experience making an in-person event just as powerful over digital channels. No stranger to working on a budget, you will get the most bang for the buck, while still putting on a grand show.

You have at least 6 hours a month (likely a few more leading up to the flagship event) to commit to a volunteer board position including the monthly board meetings. Needless to say, you are already excited to join us for our BTV annual flagship event in October.
